Do you have an MCP server?
Yes. ActivitySmith has a hosted MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and other MCP clients. After OAuth approval, your agent can send Push Notifications, show real-time updates with Live Activities, send remote approvals, update the App Icon Badge, and update values shown in your Lock Screen widgets.
View the MCP Server integrationCan I use ActivitySmith without an AI agent?
Yes. AI agents are optional. You can send Push Notifications and start or update Live Activities from any backend through the REST API or official SDKs. Webhook integrations, n8n workflows, and Zapier Zaps can also send deployment updates, automation results, business metrics, and other events to your iPhone or iPad.
Browse integrationsDo I need to build my own mobile app to receive these alerts?
No, that's the best part. ActivitySmith provides a dedicated, ready-to-use iOS app. You don't have to write a single line of Swift or manage App Store submissions. Just download our app, pair your device, and start pushing alerts from your backend in minutes.
Do I need an Apple Developer account or push certificates?
No. Because you are sending alerts to the ActivitySmith app rather than your own custom app, we handle all the APNs (Apple Push Notification service) handshake. You don't need to manage certificates, identifiers, or provisioning profiles.
What is the difference between a Push Notification and a Live Activity?
Standard Push Notifications are one-off alerts. Live Activities stay on the user's Lock Screen or Dynamic Island and can be updated in real-time. ActivitySmith allows you to trigger both via simple API, making it easy to show live progress for things like deployments or long-running builds.
Can I use ActivitySmith with my existing CI/CD pipeline?
Yes. Since it's a standard REST API, you can trigger notifications from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or any custom shell script using cURL. It is designed to fit into any automated workflow.
